Short description of error
I reported many times this bug but still cannot find a valid solution. I cannot export neither import any type of file into blender. Usually I import objs from Rhinoceros and export in fbx files to send to unity. This process worked for years but now I cannot import/export. I didn't delete any add on, I tried to install different versions of blender but it continues to fail. It always reports an error located in different scripts, so I cannot change a line on one specific line, the only thing that repeats in the error is the phrase "no process on the other extremity of the pipe" (i'm traducing it from italian so some words could not be the same but that is the meaning) and then it says "unknown location".
I'll attach one of the objs I used from free3D to try to solve it.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
It only needs to go to file>import>wavefront obj>select a file>import and it does not work.
The same with export:
file>export>wavefront obj>select a path>export and it does not work.
FinalBaseMesh.obj

Can you check with Blender 3.4? There is a new OBJ importer, written in C++.

In which version did it work for you? Did you update to a newer build?

I'll try with that version too, thank you, I usually used the LTS versions, so it worked on 2.83, 2.93. Now I'm still with 2.93 but doesn't work. Today it only worked for one import (with obj file I attached) after I specified the path for the scripts in the file preferences and I also checked the autorun python scripts. It worked for only one import and now no more.

So it worked in an older build of 2.93? Do you know which exact one?

Unfortunately I don't remember the exact 2.93 version.

the only thing that repeats in the error is the phrase "no process on the other extremity of the pipe"

Hi, thanks for the report. Similar error has been observed when importing fbx and other file formats: blender/blender#99440
Closing this as duplicate.

Some workarounds that may solve the issue:

  • Try factory reset: File > defaults > Load Factory Settings
  • Disable anti-virus software or virus removal tools if you're using.

If you find any relevant information about this issue, please feel free to share in blender/blender#99440
